After serving jail time on a trumped-up vagrancy charge, blues musician Floyd Barton sets out to win back his girl and reclaim his pawned guitar, hoping to make a new hit record. Set in 1948 in the backyard of a Pittsburgh apartment house, Seven Guitars follows Floyd’s circle of friends and neighbors—the play’s seven voices—as they spin a rich tale of the deck that’s stacked against them, what they’ve lost and all they dream. This lyrical play is part of August Wilson’s Century Cycle, which charts the African-American experience through each decade of the 20th century.

Artist JEAN SHIN will be creating a site-specific installation titled ANTHROPOCENE FOSSILS as part of the Louisville Metro’s CONNECT/DISCONNECT Public Art. The local community is invited to gather plastic detritus that has been washed up on the Ohio River. Like a contemporary fossil bed, the salvaged materials will be cast into concrete and transformed into a new public artwork on the Riverfront. The project engages audiences into the creative process while activating the public to imagine the close relationship between Louisville’s history and its geography.
The project is inspired by the exposed fossil beds nearby at the Falls of the Ohio State Park, dating back over 390 million years to the Devonian Period. The ambition of Anthropocene Fossils is to similarly draw audiences to explore our contemporary imprints.
In Shin’s work, familiar everyday objects are transformed and preserved in a new form that connects the natural and cultural history of Louisville’s Riverfront to the present environmental conditions. From a far, the accumulation of debris becomes a sedimentary mass populated with colorful voids embedded in the landscape.
Mirroring the experience of looking closely at ancient fossil beds, these discarded outer shells are leftovers of once active systems at work. Like fossil fuels, this petroleum based waste is perhaps our unintended legacy.
By transforming the accumulation of river debris on site, the project invites the public to explore these cultural artefacts while contemplating the impact of consumer waste and post-industrialization on our environment, landfills and navigational systems today.
• WHAT: Collect colorful plastic containers such as: water bottles, juice and milk jugs, detergent containers, gasoline tanks including the lids and caps and other river detritus
• WHEN: Saturdays, August 1 and August 8th at 10 am-12:30 p.m. Come to just one session or both.
• WHERE: Meet at corner of Rowan Street and North 10th Street (just past Kentucky Peerless Distilling)
• HOW: Explore River’s edge in groups. Wear comfortable shoes, clothing for outdoors and hat.
• SUPPLIES AVAILABLE: gloves, trash pickers, trash bags and water
• FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION: Receive free project T-SHIRT
• RSVP: anthropocenefossils@gmail.com
• BRING YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS or just show up and meet others in your community!

Join us on Sunday, October 4th at 2:30 PM in the Riverside Visitors Center for a talk by Chuck Parrish on the history of the United States Life Saving Service at Louisville, based on the book he co-authored and edited, entitled Heroes at the Falls: Louisville Lifesavers.
From 1880 to 1915, the life saving crew based at Louisville’s Station #10 courageously performed dangerous rescues at the treacherous Falls of the Ohio. The crew had the distinction of serving aboard the only Federal life saving station on the inland waterways of America. Mr. Parrish, a retired historian with the Corps of Engineers, Louisville District, will share their stories — and images — during this free presentation.
The event is free, but space is limited so RSVPs are encouraged. Call 502/935-6809 to reserve your seating.

Join us for a presentation by Joanna Kirby, President of the Garden Club of Kentucky, on “Creating Way Stations for Monarch Butterflies” at 11:00 am on Saturday, August 8th in the Visitors Center. Ms. Kirby has devoted countless hours to efforts to encourage Kentucky gardeners to create “way stations” for monarch butterflies across the Commonwealth. You will hear how you (or your school group or church group) can build and maintain habitats that support the monarch butterfly.
This event is FREE and open to all! We look forward to seeing you here. Contact us at 502/935-6809 with questions.
